just recently i got decent pedals and shorter cranks for my
freestyle unicycle, pumped the tyre up a bit more and let
myself loose on the floor.
i have to say that i never thought that changing my unicycle
a little bit would make so much diference.
i still can't stand up wheelwalk but i can nearly pirrouete
now, and my transitions into seat drag and gliding are
starting to happen.
i kind of though that unispins would be harder with short
cranks but it turns out i was wrong.
also when juggling on the unicycle the 110mm cranks make
everything much easier and more controlled.
i've been planning to put some pedal pins inthe crown to
make standup esier and then cut some of the foam out of the
seat to make it thinner (kh seat far too fat to grab onto
confortably) and the seat post clamp i have has too many
sharp edges.
one day i may get a frame with lower tyre clearance, but i
think that would be a bit obsessive.
its nice to get "free" extra skill points by upgrading my
unicycle, but i suspect that only minimal improvements can
be had without good old fashioned practice.
